Leeds United: Lees pens new deal with Whites

Phil Hay

Leeds United have completed what they hope will be the first in a series of contract renewals by signing young defender Tom Lees to a new deal.

The centre-back has committed himself to Leeds until the summer of 2015 after receiving the latest in a growing line of extensions with the Championship club. Lees renegotiated his contract last December while on loan at Bury and has accepted another improved deal after breaking into United’s senior side for the first time this season.

The 20-year-old has played nine times since the start of the term and scored his first league goal in a 4-1 win over Hull City on August 16.
